"My wife became too much for me to take care of & Right at Home was there to help us. They made sure she was safe, took her medication and was clean and dressed. We had two caregivers and both were compassionate, prompt, gentle and always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. The office staff was also very communicative and understanding if we had to cancel if my wife was having an exceptionally bad day. I would highly recommend Right at Home Garden City to any family. "

"We've been using Senior Helpers - Central Long Island. They've been very helpful. They gave me a lot of other information to help us pay. They offer a wide range of things because my mother didn't necessarily need someone to bathe her and this and that. I was looking for companionship and physical things, walking, and helping her cook. I like the person that comes. We're doing four to six hours, three to four times a week. Thus far it has been the same caregiver. She likes my mother. I haven't had a problem with the agency. They've been very good. They return the calls we miss. I actually called them when I was in Europe and I missed a message and they called me right back. I don't have anything negative to say."

"I currently have Home Instead Merrick helping with my husband's care. They help out with showering and preparing lunch or breakfast, whichever is needed -- but it's mainly lunch. They see that he's dressed properly because he puts on daytime clothes at night and nighttime clothes in the daytime. They check after him and clean up if needed. They also do light housework, vacuuming, and take him for a walk when they can. Today he has a dental appointment, and the caregiver will be accompanying us. It's his first visit to that dentist so I'm going, but the caregiver will be driving us and acting as a companion to help him understand what's going on. They do whatever I ask them to; sometimes it's an errand, and sometimes just getting lunch for him if I don't have anything prepared. It's whatever I need at the time, like washing clothes and folding them from the dryer, and things like that. Whenever I have to speak with the manager or the people at the office, they're always very kind, very thorough, understanding, and easily reachable, so I've had no problem whatsoever. I've only been with them maybe three months, but they have been very responsive. If somebody could not come in, which happened a couple of times, they would let me know ahead of time and determine with me whether or not I wanted a replacement. I have not been with them that long, but I'm very pleased with them. "

"My father has Alzheimer’s and when it became too much for my mother to handle on her own, we sought out an in-home aide. We landed on Right at Home, and it was a great decision. From the owners (Eileen and Gregg) to the staff (especially Vicky), everyone has been extremely professional and respectful, and more than willing to go out of their way to help. Our aide Alicia has been wonderful, and my parents are very happy with her. I would highly recommend Right at Home to anyone in need of services."

"I'm using Right at Home Eastern Queens. I get the help needed inside the house, but I need the aide to drive my parents to some of the doctors' appointments. However, none of the aides can even do that, and they can't even roll her up and down the ramp. They oversold their capabilities in that respect. The cost is comparable with the other providers. They do light cleaning, help with bathing, walk them around, organize cabinets, and do personal grooming, which is the most important thing. They're very good aides. One of the positive things they do is provide services to on a discount for going back and forth to the hospital and the doctor. They also have a good RN case supervisor."

"Right at Home provided two overnight aides for a physically challenged family member who wanted to move into her own apartment. The aides never let us down. They were very dependable and showed up on time for their shifts. The aides made sure our family member was safe each night and helped her start each day—getting her out of bed, assisting her with dressing, and preparing breakfast. It was such a relief to know that we could count on consistent, dependable caregiving every day of the week. We never had to worry about our family member being left alone and felt certain she was in good hands. Maria worked hard to staff the overnight shifts with very short notice, and had the whole schedule worked out within a couple of days."

"Under the the care of Marni and Greg Altfest, we have had an excellent experience with Home Instead. The women that looked after, and eventually befriended our mother, were kind, competent, compassionate and reliable. We were so lucky to have such special, deeply caring people in our lives. Over many years, they enriched our mother's life immeasurably. Marni and Gregg made sure that we consistently had the care that we needed, often through very difficult and frequently changing times. Our family is deeply thankful."

"I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible care Gentle Touch provided for my mom, who had Alzheimer’s and dementia. She was not an easy patient, yet every caregiver treated her with such kindness, patience, and respect. They were knowledgeable and equipped to handle the unique challenges she presented, which brought us peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. They truly went above and beyond, supporting not only my mom but also our entire family. We felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend this agency to anyone in need of compassionate, reliable care for their loved ones. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. - The Peterson Family"

"We are using Elder Home Care for my mom. They've been great at getting us the particular aides that we are looking for. My mom requires 24-hour care, so they've been wonderful. We originally started with just a couple of hours, mainly on the weekends. Once my mother needed 24-hour care, they got us to aides who would provide 24-hour care. My mom is at high risk of falling, so they watch her for that. My mother is pretty independent, so they are just to watch her do her normal day-to-day activities. They do help her with exercises and walking. They are making sure she walks and exercises during the day so that she doesn't just sit around."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Nassau County:
Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
---|---|---|---|

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
